Actor-director Parmeet Sethi says he took a break from acting to focus on direction and writing. In a telephonic interview with IANS, Sethi spoke about his new TV show My Name ijj Lakhan and why was he away from camera for a long time.

He said: "I had taken a shift from acting to directing and writing a few years ago. When I stepped into the shoes of a director, I wanted to focus on one particular thing only. "Directing was new for me and I wanted to give my 100 per cent to it. So, I took a break from the acting world to focus on directing and learning the new things about filmmaking with full dedication"
